Implications and challenges for the energy sector in Brazil and Mexico to meet the carbon emission reductions committed in their INDC during the COP 21-CMP11

Brazil and Mexico aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 43% and 40% respectively by 2030, goals that require technical innovation, cleaner energy sources, and significant energy policy changes. The document analyzes current and prospective energy mixes and explores the role of renewable energy in achieving these targets while enhancing energy sovereignty and economic benefits.

• Brazil and Mexico have committed to reducing their carbon dioxide emissions by 43% and 40% respectively by 2030, despite each contributing only 1% to global emissions.
• Meeting these emission targets requires a combination of technical innovations, the adoption of cleaner energy sources, active cross-sector participation, and substantial changes to national energy policies.
• The implementation of renewable energy across various sectors is identified as a pathway to meeting COP21-CMP11 commitments, with the added potential to provide economic benefits and energy sovereignty for both nations.
